Spas of India

Relax and rejuvenate in style on this tour of some of India’s—and the world’s—best spas and resorts. Begin by easing into India with a few days in Delhi. Enjoy comprehensive touring that includes Old Delhi’s bazaars, the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, the Lodi Gardens, upscale shopping districts, and excellent museums.

Continue to the foothills of the Himalayas for three days at Ananda, consistently voted one of the top spas in the world.  Housed in the palace of a former Maharajah, the spa blends the ancient Indian healing art of Ayurveda with Swedish and Thai elements in treatments designed to detoxify, de-stress and revitalize. During your stay, enjoy a spa program that includes spa treatments, spa cuisine, and the wonderful facilities and activities available at Ananda. You will also consult with an expert practitioner, who will recommend Ayurvedic treatments specifically designed for your needs.  Enjoy Ananda’s acclaimed Ayurvedic cuisine, which will also be customized to your Ayurvedic needs.

Return to Delhi for a night, then fly to Udaipur, India’s most romantic city, for three nights at a luxury hotel modelled after a Rajasthani moated palace with carved stone columns, gold-leaf covered domes and landscaped terraces. With your private guide, tour the City Palace, Jagdish Temple, the Saheliyon Ki Bari garden, and Udaipur’s bazaars. Cruise Lake Pichola and walk through picturesque backstreets, taking in views of the whitewashed buildings and the surrounding hills and lakes. If desired, also enjoy a cooking class or excursions to local temples and gourmet restaurants in restored palaces. There will be plenty of free time to indulge in treatments at the hotel's spa, one of the best in all of India.

The tour concludes with comprehensive private touring in Mumbai (Bombay).
